FOURTEEN WAYS OF LOOKING

"Deeply affecting. Grief blows a life into shards, and Vincent assembles here the precious fragments. Fourteen Ways of Looking is a deep dive into the moment after which nothing is the same— life as afterlife, and yet it’s what we have... In her efforts to free herself by going back to the source of trauma, she is both Odysseus and Euridice, damned and saved.

A remarkable achievement."

"Erin’s book is magnificent, simply one of the best books I’ve read in ages. I read it in a reverie of blissed-out, horrified amazement... People will go gaga for this book. I can easily imagine it becoming a cultural touchstone like Max Porter’s Grief Is the Thing with Feathers or Maggie Nelson’s Bluets."
